I am new here, just happend to find ya'll when i was browsing. I was banded on Jan 3 2008 by DR. Tarracino in Newport News, VA. And by the way, he is awesome! As of today which is the 12th day i have lost about 18lbs. i dont know if that is good or not but i am imprssed with my self cause on the 3rd day i kicked my husband and kids out of the house when they brought home mcdonalds! ( I LET THEM BACK WHEN THEY WERE DONE EATING, LOL) It seems like it is getting easier each day but the first few were very hard. I still find myself...grazing, but not eating. I just open the cabnets and look and there is nothing there. Is this normal? Am i expecting too much of a change too soon? I know a lot of ppl who have had the gastric bypass but no banders, so i dont know who to ask questions. Im not sure what questions I have other then some ideas of good healthy food i can eat in the next stage, u know, soft purred stage. I think baby food and blender surprise but am told it doesnt have to be like that. Any suggestions would be great!!:eek:
